This community looks pretty quiet. What better way to wake it up than with fresh bread?

I make a multigrain loaf for myself most weekends. My partner asked for rye a while ago, and happened to be out of bread today, so I made a loaf of that for him as well.

Nice. Those look delicious. Any recipe recommendations? I want to learn to make bread but nothing complicated yet.

    They're both so good. I've been using this recipe for the multigrain, and this one for the rye. Both have consistently turned out well.

    Bread is less intimidating than it seems, especially if you have a stand mixer to do most of the work for you. The biggest learning curve for me was understanding what the dough should look and feel like at its various stages. Also remember that temperature affects proofing. If it's extra warm your dough will rise a lot faster than if it's kind of cool, so you need to start checking on it earlier to avoid overproofing.
